Solids, Liquids, and Gases

A solid is a state of matter that has a(n)

• indefinite volume and a definite shape

• definite volume and indefinite shape

• Definite volume and a definite shape

• indefinite volume and indefinite shape

The resistance of a liquid to flowing is its

• pressure

• temperature

• viscosity

• volume

Particles of a liquid

• are tightly packed together and stay in a fixed position

• have no viscosity

• decrease in volume with increasing temperature

• are free to move around in a container, but remain in close contact with one another

In which state of matter do particles spread apart, move rapidly, and fill all the space available

• crystal

• frozen liquid

• gas

• solid

During the process of sublimation,

• a liquid turns into a gas

• a solid turns into a liquid

• a gas turns direction into a solid

• a solid turns directly into a gas

The surface of water can act like a sort of skin due to a property of liquids called

• viscosity

• surface tension

• condensation

• evaporation

The change from liquid to solid, or the reverse of melting is called

• condensation

• boiling

• freezing

• melting

The freezing point of water is the same as its

• melting point

• boiling point

• sublimation point

• evaporation point

What is vaporization?

• a gas becoming a liquid

• a liquid becoming a solid

• a gas becoming a solid

• a liquid becoming a gas

The boiling point of a substance is affect by

• the mass of a substance

• the substance's volume

• the pressure of the air above the substance

• the amount of surface tension the substance has
